This book offers rich insights into the news media’s role in the development of policy in Australia, and explores the complex, dynamic and interactive relationship between news media and Australian Indigenous affairs. Spanning a twenty-year period from 1988 to 2008, Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller critically examine how Indigenous health, bilingual education and controversial legislation were portrayed through public media. \u003cem\u003eThe Dynamics of News and Indigenous Policy in Australia\u003c\/em\u003e provides evidence of Indigenous people being excluded from policy and media discussion, as well as using the media to their advantage. To that end, the book poses the question: just how far was the media manipulating the national conversation? And how far was it, in turn, being manipulated by those in power? A decade after the Australian government introduced the controversial 2007 Northern Territory Emergency Response Act, McCallum and Waller offer a ground-breaking look at the media’s role in Indigenous issues and asks: to what extent did journalism exacerbate policy issues, and how far were their effects felt in Indigenous communities?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book provides one of the most thorough, contextually rich, and clearly explained accounts of the rapid slide backwards in Indigenous affairs, from self-determination and reconciliation to intervention, over the last two decades.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Dr. Christina Spurgeon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Setting the Scene\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 1: Introduction: Media dynamics and policy intractability\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 2: Policy histories and discursive environments\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Part II: Media Coverage of Indigenous Affairs\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 3: Race, indigeneity and the media: Theoretical trajectories in Australian studies of Indigenous media representation\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 4: News from another country: Remote Indigenous reporting for mainstream audiences\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 5: The Australian and Indigenous affairs\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Part III: Indigenous Health Policy\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 6: Key moments in Indigenous health policy, 1988–2008\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 7: Framing Indigenous health in the Australian news media\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 8: Policymakers’ media-related practices and ‘new paternalism’ in Indigenous health\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Part IV: Bilingual Education\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 9: Bilingual education: A case study\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 10: Saving bilingual education: Media-related practices of Indigenous policy advocates\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 11: A game of mirrors: News, policy and bilingual education\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller   Chapter 12: Conclusion: Change and continuity in media and Indigenous affairs\u003cbr\u003e Kerry McCallum and Lisa Waller","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042267660631,"sku":"9781783208128","price":35.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-dynamics-of-news-and-indigenous-policy-in-australia-9781783208128","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
